Very nice park to run, sit, picnic, walk the dog etc. There is a cafe and a restaurant on the bay but lots of people just grab their food and eat on the benches and grass. My favorite playground in the city is also here.

This is another beautiful secret spot that is not on major touristic routes (though very close by to the main sights) - the trail around the bay is around 2km, though one of the best views in town with old villas, nice cafes, and lots of birds. In summers there is a small kiosk/cafe overlooking the bay. At the other side of the bay is where Finland hall is located.

Shopping
Best place to get fresh fish from the fishers, cheese from farmers, meat products and other gourmet, local, organic foods. A very good soup place. Upstairs, there are small craft shops to explore!
